Many of our readers are online bookmarking users, as I see many of them have bookmarked the pages in lifehack.org for later reference. How to use del.icio.us effectively and be a power user? Blogger David Brunelle has some answers for you. He has couple of tips on storing and accessing your bookmarks, effective way to share your links, and how to find some good links:
1. Use Browser Buttons: Browser buttons are an easy, convenient way to bookmark a web site, or view your del.icio.us bookmarks. There are buttons for Internet Explorer, and a Firefox Extension.
2. Use IE’s Active Channel: If you’re an IE user, there is a del.icio.us Active Channel (What’s an active channel?) that creates an easy way to access your del.icio.us bookmarks through IE’s Favorites menu.
3. Use Tags Effectively: When applying tags to del.ico.us bookmarks, use tags that will be easy to interpret at a later point. However, be consistent (don’t use application, utility, app, and tool – decide on one and stick to it)
This article is useful in a way where you can discover couple of features that you may not use it before. If you have any tips on del.icio.us, comment it here or send it through tips at lifehack.org.

A-Line Bridesmaid DressesPascalle Bippert, a longtime La Vernia resident, was tuned into an
episode of NBC’s “Nightly News” and found herself unnerved by the scenes being displayed. Diane Sawyer was interviewing a woman named Rachel O’Neill, who was speaking about
a mission trip she took to Africa and her experiences while there. Silver Bridesmaid Dresses
While watching, Pascalle witnessed the spectacle of the very harsh living environment and poor clothing available to the young African girls, which O’Neill realized needed to
be changed.Ball Gowns Bridesmaid Dresses
Three months ago, Pascalle began a mission that started with O’Neill, a resident of Brownstown, Mich.Empire Bridesmaid Dressesan average middle-aged mother of two. O’Neill’s trip to Africa, previewed on the “Nightly News,” had changed her life and many
others’ forever.O’Neill, while visiting Africa, could not stand the “rags” the young African girls were wearing any longer. Disgusted, once back home, O’Neill took it upon
herself to do something special for the girls, to better their lives in some way.Sheath Bridesmaid

This thought sparked the idea for “Little Dresses for Africa” (LDfA), a Christian-based, nonprofit organization O’Neill created in 2007. She explained that the young girls
should have something nice to wear, something they can feel wonderful while wearing. The organization makes simple but beautiful dresses out of pillowcases for the young
girls.Black Bridesmaid DressesPascalle took her words and ran with them. She began creating her
own dresses out of pillowcases.Blue Bridesmaid Dresses
“Being a part of this is so rewarding; these girls have nothing and are treated horribly, never feeling beautiful,” Pascalle tearfully expressed. “These girls are so worthy
of being pretty, of God’s love, and deserve to know that people halfway across the world love them.”White Bridesmaid Dresses
Pascalle’s friends, neighbors, relatives, and even strangers in the community have donated material and pillowcases along the way to help her in creating her dresses.Brown Bridesmaid DressesThe “Little Dresses for Africa” inspiration and community support led
Pascalle to another idea and project. She wanted to make dresses for the “Team Sophie Benefit,” an event that helped to raise funds for the family of Sophie Sparks, a well-
known young girl in the community fighting cancer. Pascalle completed more than 25 “Little Sophie Dresses,” raising $295 for the family from donations for her dresses.Gold Bridesmaid Dresses
Pascalle takes many shopping strolls to thrift stores in search of great deals on fabrics or pillowcases to sew and construct her masterpieces, enriching the lives of many young
girls in Africa, who — because of her — now know the meaning of feeling beautiful.Green Bridesmaid

She is always looking to combine forces and have a “great sewing party” with other local sewing volunteers.“It takes me approximately 30 minutes to complete a dress out of a
pillowcase and a little longer to complete one made out of fabric,” Pascalle said.With a smile, Pascalle admits she is still in the beginning stages of sewing and is
continually getting better. “Practice makes perfect,” and in time, Pascalle hopes to be creating more and more of her dresses.Red Bridesmaid Dresses“I love this activity; it has replaced my crayons,” Pascalle said cheerfully.Pink Bridesmaid Dresses
